cold feet


there is a passage,
one i have not taken in awhile,
gaping, gasping, hoping for my treads
just beyond that door

the portal closes by inches as i give myself away
in inches, steps, and promises, promises
and i watch the emptiness in me
grow, and grow, and grow.

there were glances…
mine, yours, but mostly mine,
that communicated something soft, delicious
and wrong

but while that hallway beckons
and as i step to bar your entry,
i also deftly block
escape.

Dear Meghan,

You do not have your critique window open, so I won't make any suggestions or critiques as to your first post, and won't do so, until you've marked the appropriate box in your profile. However, I see into the window that you've left with your "cold feet," and thank you for the memorial to those thoughts that I have known in my own lifetime.
